Answer:

48/25 as an improper fraction, 1 23/25 as a mixed fraction.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is -8/5 divided by 5/-6.

First of all, you can get rid of the negative signs becasue there are two.  Negative and Negative equals positive, so we already know that the answer will be positive.  

So, we now have 8/5 divided by 5/6.

When you divide fractions, the fraction being divided is turned to it's reciprocal.  To get a fraction's reciprocal, just flip the numerator and denominator's places.  It's that easy!  

Here is an example:  2/3's reciprocal is 3/2.  The numbers just get flipped!

That would mean 5/6's reciprocal would be 6/5.  Don't find the reciprocal of 8/5 because it is not the number that is getting divided.  When you find a reciprocal you can change the division sign into a multiplying sign.

Example:  2/3 divided by 4/5.  Reciprocal of 4/5 is 5/4.  Now it is 2/3 <u>TIMES</u> 5/4.

Back to the problem.

We now have 8/5 <u>TIMES</u> 6/5.  When you multiply fractions, just multiply both numerators, in this case being 8 and 6, and the denominators, in this case being 5 and 5.  So 8 times 6 is 48.  5 times 5 is 25.

We now have 48/25, which can be reduced to 1 23/25!  

For the mixed number, if you are confused, 25 goes into 48 only one time.  So, the whole number is 1.  but when 25 goes into 48 only one time, there is still 23 left because 48-25= 23.  23 is our new numerator!  The denominator stays the same.  So, it's 1 23/25.  :)

What is the volume of the box pictured below?
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

The volume of the box is 3/4 cubic meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that volume = length * width * height. We have length, width, and height already, so all we have to do is multiply.

5/6 * 1 1/8 * 4/5. First we convert 1 1/8 from a mixed fraction, to give us 9/8, as 8/8 = 1.

5/6 * 9/8 * 4/5. 5 * 9 = 45, and 6 * 8 = 48. 45/48 reduces to 15/16.

15/16 * 4/5. 15 * 4 = 60, and 16 * 5 = 80. 60/80 reduces to 6/8, which reduces to 3/4.

Four years after opening an account that paid simple interest of 4.25% annually, a depositor withdrew the $2,380 in interest ear
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to figure out how much money was left in the account after the interest was withdrawn, we have to first find out how much money was initially deposited to earn that amount of interest! The means to find that initial investment is found in the simple interest formula

prt = I, where

p is the initial investement,

r is the interest rate in decimal form,

t is the time in years, and

I is the interest earned. Notice that we have all those things but the p.

Filling in:

p(.0425)(4) = 2380 and

.17p = 2380 so

p = 14000

That means that 14000 was initially invested. If the depositor withdrew the 2380, then

14000 - 2380 is the amount left in the account, namely, $11620
